Isn’t the song getting old?

Everywhere we look, we see it. The old song. The song that was sung since the fall of man. This song is love song of sorts. The song is about us and to us. We sing it…to ourselves and to each other. The song tells us how great we are and how powerful we are and how dashingly handsome we are. We look into the mirror and admire ourselves and sing the next refrain.

In Revelation it says that we will sing a new song. I don’t think this is a song we have never heard as much as it is a song we have never sung. We have heard the song, it is all around us. The song is in all creation and in the created order. But, we do not sing the song. Jesus, when asked, on what we know today as Palm Sunday, to have his disciples stop singing His praise, told them that if they stop the rocks would cry out. If you stop and look and listen, you can hear them crying out now. It is hard to hear it against the loud voice of our own selfish song. What makes the song new is that we will begin to sing it. For the first time we will stop singing OUR song and start singing His. To us this will be a NEW song.

Here is my challenge today. Why must we wait until we are around God’s throne in eternity to being to sing this new song? I don’t know about you, but I am getting tired of the old song. There is nothing standing in our way, nothing keeping us from it. Isn’t the old song getting old?
